How to out stand your blogging competition


Have you ever thought of standing first out of the competition among all the blogs? Did you know there are a number of essential ways to beat the other bloggers by becoming a better blogger?

The most critical ways to out-blog other blogs are described below. The best part is that they are all free and you can begin implementing them as part of your blogging journey immediately.

1. Be More Useful
Make your blog so useful to visitors that they can’t resist themselves from visiting it. And also make them feel that not visiting would mean they could miss something very important or big. Always keep in mind, usefulness comes first and is available in a lot of different forms, shapes, and sizes. Your blog could be useful because it delivers breaking news, health-tips, blogging-tips, in-depth tutorials, expert advice, and more. Even entertainment can be useful for people who want and need it. Check out other blogs and figure out how you can be more useful, and then deliver that added value of usefulness on an ongoing basis.

2. Be More Trustworthy and Reliable
If people can trust that your blog will deliver that useful information they need, and they can rely on you, they'll come back again and again. If you can be more trustworthy and reliable than other blogs, then you'll be able to beat them by attracting and retaining more visitors.

3. Look Better
Your blog design should match your theme and also the promise to visitors. Make sure you live up to it by playing and looking the part in every interaction and experience that people have with your blog through comments or any other means. Confusion is a big enemy to bloggers, so make sure your blog is consistent in every way. Select a good blog design that sets expectations immediately when people visit.

4. Get Better Connections and More of Them
You should always build good relationships with your blog visitors and with people across the social web. Also, connect with other bloggers who can help to boost your online content by sharing them either directly or indirectly. These relationships help to increase sharing of your blog content, boost conversations about your blog, jump start comments for each of your blog posts, and there-by increasing traffic to your blog.

5. Care More
You should care more about your blog. That means you should take care about:
Ø  Your visitors by acknowledging them when they publish comments on your blog posts, thanking them for sharing your content with their own audiences, responding to their email messages, and so on.

Ø  Your content by publishing consistently with useful and trustworthy information on a reliable basis that meets your audience's expectations.

Ø  Your blog's performance by monitoring your traffic and publishing more of the type of content your audiences wants.
